一位面试官最近问了我这样一个问题:给定三个布尔变量a、b和c，如果三个变量中至少有两个为真，则返回true。
我的解决方案如下:
boolean atLeastTwo(boolean a, boolean b, boolean c) {
if ((a && b) || (b && c) || (a && c)) {
return true;
}
else{
return false;
}
}
他说这还可以进一步改进，但如何改进呢?
当前回答
如果你有很多布尔值，操作符重载很容易。
operator fun Boolean.unaryPlus() = if (this) 1 else 0
// ...
if(+bool1 + +bool2 + ... + +boolN > 2) {
// ...
}
其他回答
我相信使用普通的布尔运算符(a || b) && (b || c)是很好的，而且更简单。
你可以把这三个字母中的任意一个和另外两个字母中的任意一个交换它仍然是相同的表达式。
这真的取决于你对“改进”的定义:
清晰吗?
boolean twoOrMoreAreTrue(boolean a, boolean b, boolean c)
{
return (a && b) || (a && c) || (b && c);
}
反之亦然？
boolean moreThanTwo(boolean a, boolean b, boolean c)
{
return a == b ? a : c;
}
更一般的?
boolean moreThanXTrue(int x, boolean[] bs)
{
int count = 0;
for(boolean b : bs)
{
count += b ? 1 : 0;
if(count > x) return true;
}
return false;
}
更多的可伸缩的吗?
boolean moreThanXTrue(int x, boolean[] bs)
{
int count = 0;
for(int i < 0; i < bs.length; i++)
{
count += bs[i] ? 1 : 0;
if(count > x) return true;
int needed = x - count;
int remaining = bs.length - i;
if(needed >= remaining) return false;
}
return false;
}
更快呢?
// Only profiling can answer this.
哪一种是“改进”的，很大程度上取决于具体情况。
在我看来，3 / 3都是非常任意的数，函数应该适用于任意的数。为了回答这个问题，我要写一个函数来计算数组中的x是否为真，例如，
bool istrue ( int x, bool[] list)
y = count true in list
return y >= x
One thing I haven't seen others point out is that a standard thing to do in the "please write me some code" section of the job interview is to say "Could you improve that?" or "Are you completely happy with that" or "is that as optimized as possible?" when you say you are done. It's possible you heard "how would you improve that" as "this might be improved; how?". In this case changing the if(x) return true; else return false; idiom to just return x is an improvement - but be aware that there are times they just want to see how you react to the question. I have heard that some interviewers will insist there is a flaw in perfect code just to see how you cope with it.
在Ruby中:
[a, b, c]。计数{|x| x} >= 2
这可以在JavaVM上的JRuby中运行。: -)
